Abstract
Rendiconti del Reale Istituto Lombardo, December 1887.—On the Tertiary formations near Cape La Mortola, in Liguria, North Italy, by Prof. T. Taramelli. The paper deals specially with the abrupt interruption which occurs in the prevailing Eocene and Secondary systems about this part of the Ligurian coast. This interruption is brought into connection with the great development in Liguria of the marine Pliocene formation, which in the Varo basin and near Ventimiglia stands at a present altitude of over 550 metres above the sea, but which does not occur at all further east in Istria and Friuli, where it is represented by thick alluvial deposits of vast extent.—On the neutralizers of tubercular virus, by Prof. Giuseppe Sormani. In continuation of his previous studies, the author here deals with twenty-one additional substances, or chemical reagents, making eighty altogether. According to their different action on Koch's Bacillus these are grouped in three categories: those that have no effect; those that only attenuate, and those that entirely destroy, the virus. As many as twenty-two, including camphorated chloral, the bromide of ethyl, and the nitrite of ethyl, are found to be effective.—Meteorological observations made at the Brera Observatory during the month of November 1887.
